Zeus Freeletics
The king of the free Freeletics WODs: strength and volume.
By Jérémie NeubauerCalisthenics, CrossFit and strength training enthusiast for over 15 years
Zeus repeats 10 strict handstand pushups, 20 pullups, 30 pushups, 40 situps and 50 squats four times. 40 handstand pushups and 80 pullups in total: the most complete free WOD, and one of the hardest.
The circuit (4 rounds)
No set rest between rounds, go straight from one exercise to the next.
Tap an exercise each time you finish it. Long-press or “−” to correct.
Tips to nail this WOD
- Without handstand pushups, replace them with pike pushups with your feet raised, and don't compare your time with the official version.
- Split the 20 pullups into 4 sets of 5 from the first round.
- The order goes from hardest to easiest: the situps and squats are recovery for your upper body.
